A refrigerator includes a cabinet including a space, a door configured to open and close the space and including a light source and a front plate, through which light emitted from the light source passes, an output interface provided on the cabinet or the door to output sound, a communication unit configured to communicate with a remote device and a controller configured to play music through the output interface and to control the light source in association with music playback through the output interface, when a music playback command is received from the remote device through the communication interface.

Refrigerator, method for controlling the refrigerator, home appliance, control system of the home appliance

A home appliance includes a cabinet having a space and a door configured to open and close the space. The door includes a lighting device including a light source and a base on which the light source is installed, and a front plate defining a front appearance of the door, in which light irradiated from the light source passes through the front plate. When the light source is turned on, the light source irradiates light with a second color, and when light with the second color passes through the front plate, the front plate glows with a first color different from the second color.

Refrigerator and home appliance

A home appliance includes a cabinet having a space, a door configured to open and close the space and including a light source, an illuminance sensor provided in the cabinet or the door and configured to detect illuminance, a user detection sensor provided in the cabinet or the door and configured to detect user proximity, and a controller configured to control the light source based on information detected by the user detection sensor, wherein, when a user is detected to approach the home appliance within a reference distance by the user detection sensor, the controller controls the light source of the door to be changed from a first state to a second state, and the reference distance is changeable based on one or more of an illuminance and current time detected by the illuminance sensor.

Home appliance and refrigerator

A robot includes a casing having an internal space, a head that protrudes from the casing and having a first display, a second display provided on a front of the casing, a first motor embedded in the casing, a lifting plate configured to ascend and descend via power of the first motor, a first bar having a first end connected to the head and a second end in contact with the lifting plate, a fixed plate positioned between the lifting plate and the head, and having an opening defined therein through which the first bar passes, a linkage that connects the lifting plate and the fixed plate to the second display, a first guide body rotatably disposed above the fixed plate and guiding movement of the first bar, and a second motor rotating the first guide body.

Robot

A robot according to the present disclosure may include: a casing that has an internal space; a head unit that protrudes upward from the casing and has a first display; a display unit that is disposed ahead of the casing and has a second display; an ascending and descending motor that is disposed in the casing; an ascending and descending plate that ascends and descends between a first position and a second position higher than the first position by power of the ascending and descending motor; a contact bar that has an upper end connected to the head unit and a lower end being in contact with the ascending and descending plate; a fixing plate that is positioned between the ascending and descending plate and the head unit and has an opening through which the contact bar passes; and a link that connects the ascending and descending plate and the fixing plate to the display unit.

Robot having a head unit and a display unit

An input system for a vehicle having a steering wheel includes an input unit with a plurality of buttons that are disposed in the steering wheel of the vehicle, and a processor configured to detect an event and to assign a function to at least one of the buttons that corresponds to the detected event. At least one of the plurality of buttons includes a display portion configured to display an image corresponding to the assigned function, and an operation portion disposed under the display portion, the operation portion including one or more protruding members that are activatable. The one or more protruding members are configured, based on the image displayed on the display portion being divided into a plurality of areas, to be activated so as to correspondingly constrain a movement of the display portion relative to the operation portion.

Input system disposed in steering wheel and vehicle including the same

An embodiment disclosed in the present disclosure discloses a mobile terminal for performing communication with a vehicle control apparatus installed in a vehicle, and the mobile terminal may include a wireless communication unit configured to form a network comprising the vehicle control apparatus and the mobile terminal, respectively, as one node thereof, and a controller configured to allow the vehicle control apparatus or the mobile terminal to perform an operation corresponding to an event according to whether or not the vehicle is moving or whether a user is getting on or off the vehicle based on the event generated from at least one node.
